Submission of FFDLR to the Inquiry into methamphetamine and its chemical precursors by the Parliamentary Joint Committee on Law Enforcement

“If there is one message to take from this submission it is that the advent of crystal methamphetamine in Australia has been a development which Australian drug policy has been ineffective to prevent and wind back. This is the take home message from the application of the market indicators examined above. Rich and with an existing substantial population of drug users, Australia is an ideal country for business growth with a potential demand a new illicit drug that is cheap to produce. Australia’s drug policy has served to facilitate the expansion. This is a development that is not unique to Australia.”
